Kristian Franze is a researcher at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, where he investigates mechanisms of nervous system development and pathology. His work focuses on understanding cellular forces and tissue compliance, particularly how mechanobiological factors influence the development of the central nervous system (CNS). He employs various methodologies such as atomic force microscopy and traction force microscopy to explore these insights. Franze's research primarily emphasizes early development stages using the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, as a model organism. His interdisciplinary approach aims to unravel the roles of mechanical properties in cellular behaviors that govern CNS development and associated diseases.
